Article Synopsis
- The study explores how self-efficacy, which is a person's belief in their own abilities, can influence recovery after a stroke during inpatient rehabilitation.

- Results indicate that self-efficacy significantly predicts improvements in rehabilitation outcomes, suggesting that it should be included in evaluations to enhance therapy effectiveness.
